I don't know what display you are using, but my display (Panasonic V10
plasma) doesn't seem to like to receive DD/DTS 5.1 sound. When I
changed myth to output stereo instead of pass-through DD/DTS it worked
with ALSA:hdmi as the audio device from a Revo 1600.
I haven't tried the Revo output to my receiver yet. My current
frontend for that is a Zotac ION using plughw:0,3 with passthrough
turned on.
